New Life Scavenger Hunt

When you're a homeschooler, it's hard to find new and exciting things to do with your kiddos. While researching our Bible memory verse, I found a Family Devotional Program for the spring season. One of the first things that was listed was the New Life Scavenger Hunt, where your child is given a camera and they take pictures of living things. I received a Panasonic Lumix for my birthday last October, and Ella loves playing with it, so we grabbed that and off we went.

Forsythia bush in our yard

Robin in the churchyard

We saw some ducks too

this is Grandpa Bruce, who is definitely alive!

Ella spotted some curly onion grass

And these beautiful lilac buds

Ella's friend Hallie joined us. Aren't they adorable?

Hallie found this dandelion, which is a living thing

We also found this potato...it's arguably alive :)

Hallie's brother, Luke also made the "alive" list

And so did these two :)

It was good to see both girls learning about things that are alive (flowers, birds) and things that are not (rocks, household appliances), and even better to tell them that God created all these beautiful living things for us to enjoy.

About Me

I'm a Polish Chicago girl, temporarily relocated to the North Carolina Mountains. I'm married to Gabe, who's a pretty awesome guy. Together, we've built a pretty solid little life. We have two daughters who lights up this world, as well as babies that we'll meet in heaven some day. This blog is a reflection of my journey as a Christian, a Mom, Wife, Daughter, Sister...as a person, really.

I've made a lot of mistakes, and I imagine I'll make even more. But my love for God and for my family is what keeps me going.
